> Hello, Working People!
>
> The Semi-Occasional-Sometimes-Annual Corporate Tourney is back and
> will be held Sunday, April 19, at a site to be determined.
>
> There?s room for up to 10 teams, and the cost will be $120/team, with
> said money going in toto to TFDA?s ultiplex fund or towards field
> rentals, with the surplus going to the ultiplex fund.
>
> Play will be mixed, with an onfield gender ratio of 5/2 (men/women).
> There will be up to 4 pool play games, with the top four teams from
> each pool advancing to single-elimination bracket play, beginning
> with quarters.
>
> Team composition: players must all work at a given business (eg,
> IBM). Spouses of employees of a given business may also play (even
> if the employed spouse does not). If a business can field only a
> handful of players, we (the tournament directors) can assist that
> business in finding a like business so that both may ?merge? for the
> purpose of playing in this tourney. As an example of this, contacts
> from Nortel and Cisco have spoken of merging.
>
> State of NC employees have put together teams in the past. They may
> do so again this year.
>
> Employees of NC State, UNC, and Duke may consider merging their players.
>
> Orange, Wake, and Durham county employees (including teachers) may
> merge to form a team.
>
> If there are other ?corporate? possibilities that could occur, and
> they?ve not been spelled out, feel free to ask.
>
> Ringer rule: each corporate team may bring on board two non-employee
> players, one of each gender. If a corporate team does not want to
> bring on one or both ringer players, that team does not have to do
> so. It will be necessary, however, prior to the tourney date, that
> all teams participating declare who their ringers are, if they have
> any.
>
> Tourney bids: While there are a number of folks who?ve responded to
> the ?Gauging Interest? email, it is now time to make that a
> formality, with the first 10 bids getting berths in 2009?s
> Semi-Occasional-Sometimes-Annual Corporate Tourney. Send your bids
> to me at schwoerkec at yahoo.com . Teams will submit their entry-fee
> checks for $120 (made out to "TFDA") April 19, at the tourney.
>
> Thank you.
>
> btw: if you see how this tourney might be made better, or if you need
> further clarification on a point, please feel free to write.
